Answer:
Specific gravity is the density of asubstance divided by the density of water. Since (at standard temperature and pressure) water has a density of 1 gram/cm3, and since all of the units cancel, specific gravity is usually very close to the same value as density(but without any units).
Decomposition is a part of the carbon cycle that occurs slowly hence movement of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when bacteria decomposes dead matter is a slow part of the carbon cycle.
<h3>What is the carbon cycle?</h3>
The carbon cycle is part of the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature. It refers to the movement of carbon in the ecosystem. The carbon cycle cuts across the air, the land and the water bodies.
The process in the carbon cycle that occurs slowly among the options is the movement of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when bacteria decomposes dead matter.

Answer:
Product: ethyl L-valinate
Explanation:
If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to an<u>alyze the reagents</u>. We have valine an <u>amino acid</u>, in this kind of compounds we have an <em>amine group</em> (
) and a <em>carboxylic acid</em> group (
). Additionally, we have an <u>alcohol </u>(
) in the presence of HCl (a <u>strong acid</u>) in the first step, and a base (
).
When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an <u>esterification reaction</u>. In other words, an ester is produced. As the <em>first step,</em> the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the <em>second step</em>, the ethanol attacks the carbon in the C=O of the carboxylic acid group producing a new bond between the oxygen in the ethanol and the carbon in the carboxylic acid. In <em>step 3</em>, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group (
). In <em>step 4</em>, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. <em>Finally</em>, a base () removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate
